Visitacion Valley Elementary School – Schoolyard Improvements

The San Francisco Unified School District is planning significant improvements to the schoolyard at Visitacion Valley Elementary School located at 55 Schwerin St. in San Francisco, CA 94134. The project encompasses a comprehensive overhaul of the outdoor space, including the removal of existing asphalt, regrading of the terrain, and the installation of stormwater management features such as bioretention facilities, bioretention basins, and bioswales. Permeable turf and permeable surfaces will be integrated to enhance water infiltration and reduce runoff, complemented by new landscaping elements to create a more functional and environmentally sustainable play area. The work is designed to comply with California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) categorical exemptions, specifically Classes 1, 4, and 14, ensuring no expansion of student capacity, no removal of healthy mature trees, and no disturbance of environmentally sensitive areas like wetlands, seismic hazard zones, or scenic highways. All deliverables are intended to support natural drainage and sustainable site management without triggering major environmental reviews. The project is currently in a forecast stage, with no formal solicitation or contract number issued, and no pricing, contract value, or payment details available in the documentation. The only designated point of contact is LeeAnn Bailey, Grants and Compliance Manager, reachable via email and phone, serving as the primary liaison for the project. There is no identified contracting officer, contracting officer’s representative, or technical representative listed, and no formal evaluation factors, award criteria, or contract clauses from the Federal Acquisition Regulation are present. The project will be reviewed and accepted on-site by the school district, with compliance verification based solely on CEQA environmental criteria rather than federal procurement standards. Submissions related to the environmental exemption notice must be made electronically through CEQASubmit, with an option to deliver physical copies to the San Francisco Office of the County Clerk, though no deadline for such submissions is specified. No attachments, packaging requirements, inspection protocols beyond environmental compliance, or representations from potential contractors are included, indicating this document serves as a planning and environmental clearance tool rather than a formal procurement solicitation.
